Wolf of the Blood Moon: A Blood Magic - Book 4: Chapter 20.1: Reunion Part I

The Logistics Council

“-and so, in conclusion, we need to send more-” the Class V support Guardian pauses when a screeching sound comes from one of the chairs around the large table as Allen shoots to his feet with his eyes wide in shock and glued to his terminal. The Guardian then narrows her eyes ever so slightly at him and says, “Cipher, if you’ve got important intel, please share it with the group.”

Allen immediately looks up from the terminal, having been too shocked by the message he had gotten from Sage to even consider his current location. But even now that he’s considering it, he still wants to simply ignore her and rush out the door.

He doesn’t though. Instead, he displays extreme patience as he says, “The Scarlet Wolf is back in action!”

Then he begins running out of the room while all of the Class IV and V Guardians in it express their shock at the news, with several of them looking rather interested in meeting her. But by the time most of them recover enough to ask questions, the man is already running down the hallway towards the entrance of the building.

She’s home!!!! Finally!!!

Allen rushes straight out of the building before waving his hand as he runs, creating a hoverboard made solely out of nanomachines that he jumps on and begins flying through the air towards his base. From there, it only takes him a few minutes to reach the base, following which he startles each of his Association’s members that he passes by, only for some of them to show happy and knowing expressions. As if they know exactly what it is that has him so excited.

But Allen doesn’t care about any of that. He just keeps running through his base until he reaches Scarlet’s old suite and pauses outside of the door, panting a little from the exertion that it took to get there so quickly. Then he hesitates for several seconds outside of the door, briefly reaching for the knob only to pull his hand back again. Reach for it, pull it back again.

Right when he’s about to repeat the process once more, the hall around him begins frosting over and his wife appears next to him, practically pushing him out of the way as she opens the door and rushes into her suite.

Shit.

Allen quickly follows after her without a second thought before finding a surprised Scarlet being held in his wife’s arms.

Then he pulls both of them into his arms, lifting the two of them up into the air himself as she exclaims, “You’re back!”

Scarlet

It ends up taking me nearly ten minutes to get the two overprotective parents to stop smothering me. And just minutes later, Belle rushes in and does a repeat of her parents’ actions.

“Belle, please let her talk, I’m sure there’s a lot she wants to say,” Cynthia says, being the hypocrite that she is as she completely ignores the fact that she literally just did the same thing she’s warning her daughter not to do.

I raise a brow at her for a moment, only to shake my head lightly after Belle draws back a little.

Then we all settle down on my bed as I begin to describe to them everything that had happened on Tartarus, after a white field is place around us of course. Starting with how I was pulled there and ending with the different clans and the hunting grounds I used to grow stronger.

My explanation takes quite a while and by the time I’m done, the family in front of me – each of whom had been patiently listening the entire time without interrupting even once – looks like their minds have been blown by all of the information I’ve given them. So while I let them digest it all, I turn my attention to Amelia, who had finally shown herself about five or so minutes into my explanation. After I mentioned hearing Leonidas say that he missed her once.

Something I mentioned mostly to get her out of hiding, since I could tell she was here just by the prickling sensation on the back of my neck even if she was still erasing my sense of sight of her with her Sense Nullification skill. Something that doesn’t really work on a ‘sixth sense’ of sorts. Unless it’s just a plain sense mana.

From my understanding, I’m able to tell when people are looking at me purely through instinct.

It was getting annoying. Not to mention that she covered us with something to block eavesdroppers, not that anyone would be able to eavesdrop in the middle of my suite inside of the Silver Association’s main base.

Well, not anyone but Knights, that is. Like White.

Anyways, Amelia has been dazed ever since she heard that, and especially thanks to my descriptions of the Demon King since I met the guy. Probably because the guy almost killed her once. Maybe twice.

Not sure why Amelia thought it was a good idea to go back to Tartarus a few times over the years since she had me. It was all but asking for him to grab her the moment she did.

I frown at that, only to lightly shake my head.

Never mind. She doesn’t know all of Gramps’ skills, so she didn’t know just how good his senses were.

Actually, most of humanity doesn’t know just how powerful he is despite everyone recognizing that he’s the strongest being in the universe.

A rather scary thought, to be honest.

Oh, right. One more thing to tell them.

“After the Demon King learned about the prophecy and my Gradual Corruption Nullification skill, he gave an order to all of the demons to no longer target civilians and only target the Guardians,” I tell them with a smile on my face, honestly proud of making that happen even if it was entirely due to the Demon King’s will and not my own.

None of them seem surprised by this.

I blink at that.

Why aren’t they surprised by this?

“It’s not exactly hard to figure out that you’re the one responsible for your grandfather’s sudden change in attitude,” Tar comments. “Especially when it happened soon after you went to Tartarus in the first place.”

Oh. Yeah, I guess that’s true.

I scratch my head a little.

Yeah, this is awkward now, but I think I at least broke them out of their stupor.
